Experimental features and characteristics of traffic jams
Abstract
Based on experimental investigations of traffic on highways it is shown that traffic jams can move stable through a highway keeping their structure and characteristic parameters for a long time (at least for about 50 min, when the jams moved through the longest, 13.1 km, section of the investigated highways). The experimental features of an almost stationary moving jam have been found. An occurrence of complex space-time structures of traffic inside a wide traffic jam has been observed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
